So where are we now?

Jo has a narrow lead but most of Kokesh's support will probably go Hornberger or Vermin since he's the  most radical candidate. Then Gray's supporters will probably go Jo and the winner will be determined by where the supporters of Monds and Vermin go, which isn't quite as obvious.

My guess is that Jo will narrowly beat out Hornberger in the last round.

I'm going to guess that hardly anybody transfers many delegates to Hornberger, including Kokesh. Hornberger needed a big 1st round lead but came out in 2nd. The only question is if he even has enough support to make the final round at all (where he would get destroyed if facing Jorgensen).

Go Chafee!

bar a major shake-up this will be jorgensen

This.

Jorgensen is just about as ideologically radical as Hornberger, or at least equally-friendly to the radical wing.

If she has a big lead, I can see Kokesh/Monds/Vermin going to her, simply because she already has the endorsements of people like D.W. Perry.

He was just hit with a point of information on it. "That's [his] child" was the response.

[Canis]

Oh Libertarians it will be a miracle if they break 1% this year

Glad to see the Libertarians explicitly embracing transhumanism.

Atlas' own Darryl W. Perry received 1 write-in vote on the 2nd ballot.

Gray is now yielding part of his concession speech to Sharpe.

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Sharpe withdraws from VP race, alludes to endorsing Jo Jorgensen

[brucejoel99]

Sharpe withdraws from VP contention, only explicitly announces his support for the eventual nominee but his Zoom background was a Jo Jorgensen campaign sign so take that how you may.

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Jim Gray endorses Jo Jorgensen

[brucejoel99]

There's some appetite among delegates to hold Round 3 tonight rather than in the morning, so Sarwark is now putting out a poll on the option to either do so or recess for the night.

Looks like Jo's running away with it, might as well do Round 3 and make it official.

The Secretary & her team have announced their opposition to holding Round 3 tonight on account of the logistical effort that'll be required to undertake yet another ballot, but Sarwark informs her that the vote is trending toward it happening tonight.
